And Quiet Flows the Don. Il Placido Don. Musica di Luis Bacalov

Based on a novel by Nobel laureate Mikhail Sholokhov, this nearly six-hour epic traces the lives of Don Cossacks in a village in southern Russia between 1912 and 1922. The protagonist is Grigori Melekhov, a rugged Cossack who is torn between his first and true love, Aksiniya (the wife of another warrior), and his own wife Natalya. Grigori Melekhov’s personal life is shown as a bumpy road through the experience of World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the subsequent civil war. Driven to disappointment and disgrace, the two lovers, lost in the storm of history, battle the ruin of the old order and the dangers of a new world rising. The Cossacks are shown as traditional peasants and warriors, suffering through the most dramatic events in Russian history.
